In the CLOVER detector assembly, the crystals are held on a minimized crystal holder to reduce the quantity of material surrounding the crystals and to improve peak to background ratio.
The Features
- High photopeak efficiency in ‘add-back’ mode
- High efficiency in 4π geometry (well type configuration)
- Excellent energy resolution
- Excellent timing response
- Optional position information (segmentation can reduce Doppler broadening)
- Reduced vulnerability to neutron damages
- Good sensitivity to gamma ray polarization
- Easy maintenance
- Optional: low background materials, electrical cooling, extended energy range
